Once the leaves begin to change, so does your skin. During the fall and winter, you will begin to notice itchy, rough and even dry skin, especially if you are in an area that is cold and dry with harsh winds. Colder air has much less moisture and can be extremely drying, and that is where Southwest Sunshine comes in. Having a good skin care regimen is the best way to keep old man winter at bay.

Winds are extremely damaging and will strip your skin of its natural moisturizers. When you use Southwest Sunshine’s Herbal Moisturizing Lotion you can help your skin retains its own moisturizers.

If the heater is on constantly during the winter months, especially a forced air heating system, your skin is suffering. Consider buying a humidifier to keep the moisture locked inside your home.

Everyone loves a toasty fire, but the heat from an open log fire can also wreck havoc with your skin. If you must relax in front of the fire, stay a bit farther away, and don’t forget to apply your Herbal Moisturizing Lotion.

Taking hot baths and showers feel great, especially if you have been out in the cold, but those same showers and baths are quite damaging to your skin. As difficult as it may seem to take lukewarm baths and showers, try to limit your shower time to about 10 minutes. If you are having a bath, add some almond oil or lavender to the water to help moisturize your skin.

Believe it or not, a hot cup of cocoa could cause you to dehydrate, much the same as alcohol does. For every glass of wine or cup of caffeine you indulge in, chase it with a glass of water. If you can skip the coffee, have a cup of chamomile or green tea.
